This forum is provided for the benefit of beekeepers internationally, and particularly welcomes input from beekeepers in Scotland. Like all internet discussion fora it can contain humour and banter that may not be appreciated by all. The only rule is not to be abusive.

In industry, a strainer is used to remove coarse particles and a filter is used to remove much finer particles. Strainers tend to be mesh , whilst Filters are supplied in all sorts of materials and can remove particles down to very small micron sizes. Filter your coffee and strain your "greens".

Thanks all - I understand. I entered a couple of jars in this year's honey show, but there were just two of us in the novice section - so I won a prize despite my honey having been strained only. I'll filter a few jars through a fine mesh for next year's show.

Fine filter out the coarser bits ( bees legs ,wax cappngs etc) then warm honey gently and filter thro' 400 micron cloth. This is usually a nylon jam bag from your local ironmonger , or, you can buy the expensive one from Thornes.
